Bottom Line

Looking ahead

The state releases unemployment figures for April, and analysts will want to see whether Wisconsin got its share of the more than a quarter million (268,000) new private-sector jobs created nationally last month.

Proposals

In Madison, Senate and Assembly members will hold public hearings at 10 a.m. Monday on proposed legislation to create a state Venture Capital Authority. The hearings are in room 412 East of the state Capitol building.

Decisions

A special shareholders meeting to vote on the $4.1 billion takeover of Marshall & Ilsley Corp. by Canada's BMO Financial Group is scheduled for Tuesday afternoon in New York.

Openings

Sur la Table, the Seattle-based kitchen products retailer, opens Friday at Bayshore Town Center in Glendale. The 5,800-square-foot-store will be the first in Wisconsin for the chain, known for hard-to-find items and cooking classes.
